Adding a symbol to a ProcessBook display is done with the following VBA code:

Code:
Dim MySymbol As Symbol
Set MySymbol = ThisDisplay.Symbols.Add(pbSymbolTBSymbol)


My question is thus: How can it be removed?

A pbSymbol does not have a .Remove() method as far as I know. Is there another way?

My workaround is to simply to remove the visibility of the symbols, but this is a rather poor solution in my humble opinion.

Here's a snippet of code from something I'm working on:

Dim aSymb as Symbol
Dim bStat as Boolean

For Each aSymb In ThisDisplay.Symbols
If aSymb.Top > lTop And aSymb.Left < lLeft Then
bStat = ThisDisplay.Symbols.Remove(aSymb.Name)
End If
Next aSymb

The relevant part to your question is the line

bStat = ThisDisplay.Symbols.Remove(aSymb.Name)

The Symbols.Remove method returns a Boolean status where True = success and False = failure to remove the symbol.

Hope this helps...
